Each house then recaptures its individuality. The very roadways are aware of themselves and bear their horses, and cars, and trams in a competent spirit, adorned with modesty as with a garland. It has a beauty beyond sunshine, for sunshine is only youth and carelessness.
Keith springs on horseback; hastily takes "Battalion Kannacker" and several remnants of others; rushes upwards, "leaving Hochkirch a little to right; direct upon the big Battery." Recaptures the big Battery. Two shots on the right side he had not regarded; but this on the left side was final: Keith's fightings are suddenly all done.
Now, my lads, I daresay you guess pretty well at what further I have to say: the Dolphin is to proceed against the French privateers which are snapping up so many of our westerly-bound merchantmen, so there will probably be plenty of fighting for her to do, but there will also be plenty of captures and recaptures, which mean plenty of prize-money for her crew.
We were even more fortunate on this occasion than we had been before, though we found that it was no longer possible to take our enemies by surprise as we had done at first; they had learned wisdom from experience and had become aware of our tactics, notwithstanding which we took four privateers, one of which we cut out from under a battery, and made several recaptures, two of which proved to be very valuable.
By-the-bye, have you heard anything about prize-money?" "Yes, sir; it's payable for the Diligente and schooner, and all our recaptures in the West Indies when we were in the Firefly. The Dutch frigate has been for distribution some time; but as I was only petty officer then, it won't come to much."
State of Pyrrhus's army. His enfeebled condition. Precarious situation of his affairs. Affair of Locri. Pyrrhus recaptures it. Proserpina, the Goddess of Death. Explanations. Centaurs, mermaids, hippogriffs, and other fables. Fabulous history of Proserpina. Ceres seeks her. Mystical significancy of Proserpina's life. Pyrrhus resolves to confiscate the treasures at Locri.
But I walked a great distance in the course of each of these days, rode many miles in the course of all the riding I did between recaptures, and was never calmed between my recurrent periods of tense excitement. I felt limp. My condition was not improved by the occurrence and recurrence of perturbing excitement from a more disquieting cause.
She has let them build and toil, and pray and fight; it is all one to her what is done on the rock whether men carve its stones into lace, or rot and die in its dungeons; it is all the same to her whether each spring the daffodils creep up within the crevices and the irises nod to them from the gardens. It is all one to her. For twice a day she recaptures the Mont.
She says: Tread here, my friend and here; tread where you have never trodden before! The sage surrenders his intelligence, and grows young again. He recaptures the spirit of his boyish dreams. He peers into worlds unknown. See! Adventure and discovery are lurking on every side.
We were hoisting out the boats to make the recaptures, and dividing the marines into parties to go in each. In the midst of all this hurry, when Mr Farmer, our gallant first-lieutenant, was much heated, a droll circumstance occurred, the consequence of the indiscriminate firing of the convoy.
